Ladies,

I am unable to go into details about my situation, and I apoligize for being vague with my request...

However, I would so much appreciate some prayers for strength and wisdom as to a very difficult situation I am going through right now. What I thought was a very heart breaking situation has become only worse and then some.

I'am sorry I haven't been on here in a few days to see how everyone's holiday went and reply to everyone's wishes for a Merry Christmas along with other threads. I'm not trying to ignore you all I promise.

I appreciate in advance your thoughts and prayers and will try to come back and visit as soon as I can. I will be thinking of you all while I am away.

P.S. Happy New Year

Sending a prayer you!

Sheryl, my prayers are with you.

I have no clue why, but I feel the Serenity prayer might apply here... so here it is.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.

and in case it's just my cold messing with my head,
May God bless you and keep you.

HUGS

Thanks to you all. It's the middle of the night on my end. Signed on and LOL it looks as though everyone's asleep. Which it should be....But I couldn't sleep and wanted to check in and try to read some posts.

Those who mentioned my strength, I am really trying to find it. I am just really trying hard to find answers. I hope God gives me some soon!!!!!!!!!!

Please know that I still am thinking of you all even when I can't be here as much.

Janet

I'm saddened you're in so much turmoil that you can't sleep. Rest when you can, you don't want to be weakened from sleep deprivation. Please remember to keep your heart open to God's answers, they may not be the answers you're hoping for, but the answers he feels is best.

Keeping you in my prayers Sheryl.

Sheryl, I am so sorry you are going through times like this. With the struggles I have been going through lately I have learned God picks us up and carries us through these times. We may not realize it then but when we look back we see we couldn't have gotten through if he didn't. Know that we all love you here and will do whatever we can to help.

DianaB

Sheryl, I've been so worried about you and what you're going through. I pray that God is so close to you at this time that you can feel His arms surrounding you. Draw from His strength and listen for His voice. I'm here if you need me!!!

Marilyn

12-29-2007, 01:26 PM

Sheryl, soooo hoping that your situation improves and you find the strength and answers that you need. Pray fervently, and know that God doesn't give us more than we can handle even when it seems like we just can't go on. Just remember, you are a wonderful caring lady and we are all here for you!!

Hi Sweetie,

You know you have my prayers and that I'm carrying you in my heart.

I know it's not what's happening to you now, but I finally got the miracle I prayed so long and so hard for. It's so terrible to go through the suffering, but miracles happen.

Love, prayers and hugs,

Judy

Thank you !!!

Sometime's life is just crazy, what else can I say? :confused:

I want happiness and peace as everyone else...In time that may arrive.

Meanwhile, as I wait for all that I shall continue to be there for the priorities in my life. :) I realize I don't have all the answers and there's a bigger picture.

Now, it's time to catch up on the threads and see how the rest of you have been doing. :o

Janet

I feel better just seeing your face and the little blue guy glowing!! It means you're online...yay!!!

DianaB

12-30-2007, 07:00 PM

It IS good to see you on-line. I was afraid that you weren't going to be on very much. We always miss you when you're gone--like last summer! Besides I need someone to laugh at my funny posts!!!!!!

judy

I'm so glad you're back on. You're too dear to us to stay away to long.

Tink

My prayers are still with you Sheryl.
I'm glad you're coming back to check up on us though... we DO miss you when you're gone! HUGS

Thanks Tink. Thanks to everyone else too.

I admit...Everyday I tilt my head back, look to the heavens, and pray to God. I don't think he's hearing me yet but I'm being patient.

Id probably have a nervous breakdown if so much wasn't expected of me right now. Maybe tomorrow? Meanwhile, I'll keep pushing on.

I have this dream, a wide awake dream....I get to run off to some tropical island, get the mental help I need and return all better with nobody ever noticing I'm gone. Is that possible? LOL :confused:

Janet

01-02-2008, 06:15 PM

No, because I'm going with ya!!! Who else is going?

Forgivenmom5

Janet

01-03-2008, 06:58 AM

Wouldn't we have a blast all together? I would hate to think how bad my stomach would hurt laughing so much...and I'd have to bring so many pairs of undies or else some heavy duty Poise pads....LOLOL

:sidesplit: :sidesplit: :sidesplit: Janet, you kill me! I would need them too but I'm not going to let everyone know it!!!!! And, yes, we would definitely have a blast if we all got together!!!!

I still think that we should all plan on going to Branson next summer!!! I can make all the arrangements!

Janet

01-03-2008, 07:44 AM

Would this be just for the ladies or hubbies and families too?

judy

01-06-2008, 01:53 PM

I'm signing up for Branson too! (Where is it?)

Janet

01-06-2008, 04:41 PM

Judy, you're so funny....it's in Missouri....isn't it ladies...well I'm pretty sure it is.

DianaB

01-06-2008, 07:34 PM

Yes, it is in Missouri and there's lots to do there. They have a lot of famous people come there and entertain. If anyone's interested I can do some checking on what shows and we could come up with a price for everyone. Of course some of you would have your own trasportation costs to figure in too.

Here's a listing of a few of the shows. http://directory.branson.com/Shows http://www.bransontourismcenter.com/mostpopularshows.htm

Jim Stafford is a good show and Tabuchi is suppose to be really good. The Dixie Stampede is fun and there's so many others. I'm sure that Sheryl has some ideas on what would be nice to do too.

AngieDoogles

01-06-2008, 09:49 PM

Okay Diana, you mentioned Dixie Stampede and I just had to share my really embarrassing story with you. Brendon and I were taken there once by some people who used to work there and well, they played a joke on us. They told us we were going to meet some of their former co-workers, but instead, we ended up being IN THE SHOW doing a silly race on a wooden horse stick. I was SO embarrassed! At least we won. lol I even have a picture of us with our medals. :rolleyes:

I don't know if I can ever go there again. LOL

I just Googled Branson and it's about 12 and 1/2 hours from me by car, so I don't know if I could make it or not... Maybe I could convince my hubby to use our free airline tickets for Branson rather than Mexico. :D

Janet

01-07-2008, 08:50 AM

Can this be right? It says: Total Est. Time: 8 hours, 22 minutes ... Total Est. Distance: 532.90 miles

I thought it was a whole lot farther...I don't know if I could make it or not...money wise. We're still trying to catch up when hubby was off for back surgery and not getting paid.

DianaB

01-07-2008, 10:35 AM

It must be right, Janet. Branson is in southwest Missouri and that's where your map goes. You could get there in a day!!! Cool!!! If you don't have the money this year we can plan it for next year or is there something near to you that we could go to that would be fun? I just know that Sheryl and I can plan a few days and come up with a cost of about what it will cost. I've been there several times and I'm sure that Sheryl has too. It's a very family friendly place.
